4. Zoning and comfort criteria
Some people are more sensitive to draughts than others, due to different physiological parameters, but also depending on activity, temperature, air speed and turbulence intensity. The discomfort felt during draughts will be the same for an air turbulence intensity of 25% at an air temperature of 27°C and an air speed of 0.29 m/s in summer, and at an air temperature of 22°C and an air speed of 0.18 m/s in winter.
Hygrothermal comfort refers to the need to dissipate the metabolic power of the human body through exchanges of sensible and latent heat (water evaporation) with the environment in which it is located.
In addition to the purely physiological reactions of the individual (thermoregulation), there are...
